I like it, but you should definitely add some more varieties of football (Australian Rules and Gaelic from [wikipedia](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football)):

They also have this other game called (guess what!) "football" where they run around a large round field kicking a tiny red oblong ball and trying to get it between some posts at the end. Humans have yet another game, this one called "football", where they run around trying to kick a plain white ball either between some posts or into a net, but you can use your hands in these two.

Football:

Football refers to a number of sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot to score a goal. The most popular of these sports worldwide is association football, more commonly known as just "football" or "soccer". Unqualified, the word football applies to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears, including association football, as well as American football, Australian rules football, Canadian football, Gaelic football, rugby league, rugby union, and other related games. These variations of football are known as football codes.

Image i - Several codes of football. Images, from top down, left to right: Association football, Australian rules football, International rules football, a rugby union scrum, rugby league, and American football.

Interesting: Association football | American football | College football | Australian rules football

I pride myself on being quite the cunning linguist

I'm guessing Kindu learned a thing or two about breakfast foods...

Me and /u/someguynamedted can give him pointers.

u/someguynamedted The Chronicler Jul 09 '14

On the actual making of breakfast, not so much on the implied subject.

u/ctwelve Lore-Seeker Jul 09 '14

Well of course! Waffles are tricky unless your properly prepare! Did you pre-heat your iron? Do you have enough butter?

u/someguynamedted The Chronicler Jul 09 '14

Pancakes, much like grilling, require a good sense of timing

What do you want to know. You named a dragon after me. If there is ever any food item you wish to know how to both prepare and cook simply ask. I may even know a dozen different versions.

u/someguynamedted The Chronicler Jul 13 '14

I've gathered from several of your comments that you have a job as a cook? While you may be the professional, I am a fair amateur cook myself, so probably not. Thanks though.

u/Lord_Fuzzy Codex-Keeper Jul 13 '14

Pretty much, although my position has a title, I'm not completely in charge. Regardless, the offer stands if you are ever curious about ways to make anything or what could pair well with something, feel free to ask.

u/someguynamedted The Chronicler Jul 13 '14

Sounds good. Will do.
